Vintage Mister Twister Sportfisher, 3/16oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #9439

Vivid Fire Tiger paint adorns this vintage crankbait, featuring a high-contrast transition from a dark back to a golden belly punctuated by vertical black bars. Weighing in at 3/16oz (5.5g), the Mister Twister Sportfisher is a specialized find for those who collect American-made rarities. The clear plastic diving lip, which carries the manufacturer's name embossed directly into the material, is designed to take the lure down to depths of 6ft (1.8 m). This particular specimen, identified by product code 9439, measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) and remains in exceptional 5/5 condition. A standout feature of this specific model is its UV-reactive finish, intended to glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks and a split ring at the line tie, maintaining the integrity of the original USA-manufactured design. Yellow eyes with deep black pupils provide a classic, focused expression that remains clear and well-preserved.
